For how long have I held your immediate thought, Mr. Shepaug?
First, judging from your handle, you are far more local to the region than am I; I of course will defer to your local knowledge.
I plan to go out for SKS's close of their centenary (bring the checkbook, 'Lums ), since this will in all likelihood my final journey "back to The Hillside", my chances of ever laying eyes on an HRR train are nil to nonexistent. Carol-Ann, Director Alumni Affairs, has said to me "there's always a train coming by when I come to work", which doesn't tell any of us around here too much (come on Girl; power, car count, cars - LD or MTY?).
But the 80+ car through freight (NB always about Noon) and two passenger trains Daily (three Sat NB, Sun SB) will never (prevalent in '61 when I graduated) return.
Now in all fairness, and away from "partisan" sites such as here, is there really sufficient demand in a post-COVID WFH environment, to move forth on the proposed extension of MNR service to New Milford? Even if the advocates for such can accept locomotive handled trains, that track, when I observe it around New Milford, appears to be FRA "exempt" (that's as low as you can go).
